IMPROVEMENT IN DIES FOR MAKING HAMMERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,356, dated March28, 1876; application filed February 5, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY W. KIP, of Buffalo, in the county of Erie andState of New York, have invented new and Improved Dies forMakingHammers, of which the followiu g is a specification:

My invention consists of dies contrived in a novel way for shaping,riveting, and other like hammers, and punching the eyes in a droppressat one blow, and also for partly separating them from the rod.

Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation ofmy improved dies. Fig.2 is another similar section, showing a modification of the punch formaking the eye, the sections being taken on line a; x ofFig. 3. Fig. 3is a plan ot'one of the parts.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the bed-die, and B the one that is attached to the drop, in each ofwhich is a half mold or die of thehammer O, to be made, together with acavity, D, at the end, and a small groove, E, connecting said cavitywith the die, the object of which is to prevent en-.

tire separation of the hammer from the rod F by the parts G between thehammer-mold and the end cavities, and to make a good shape, H, to theend of the rod.

Along each side of the die-cavities for the hammer the metal israbbcted, as shown at I, to prevent the fin from spreading out betweenthe faces of the dies.

J is a punch for forming the eye at the same time that the hammer isshaped, said punch being formed in one piece only on one part of thedies, as shown in Fig. 1, or in two parts, one on each part of the die,as represented in Fig. 2. In the former case a slug will be punched out,which will be discharged through the channel K in the bed-die; but inthe latter case the metal displaced to form the eye will be swaged outinto the body of the hammer.

The dies are shaped so as to produce the re quired round or otherequivalent form of the pole a, and the taper form of the other end, sothat it only needs trimming and surface-finishing after coming out ofthe dies.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patcut- An improved pair of hammer-dies, having the cavity D,groove E, parts G G, rabbets I, and punch J, all constructed andarranged as and for the purpose specified.
